My name is Jeannette, I took care of James at the hospital. Once in a while a family member of a patient will touch our hearts in a special way. I had the pleasure of meeting Barbara while James was there. The respiratory department, where I work, all enjoyed spending time with Barbara. Her warmth, sense of humor and undeniable love for her husband was wonderful to be around. I truly believe James knew he was loved right up to the end and he's in a wonderful place now and at peace. God Bless you Barbara and your friends and family.
